What mod?

I made that post in December of last year. Not sure if that mod has been updated. I stopped using the acting career as it was too much of a structured check list and I hate those.

Do you remember what mod it is? Perhaps it may be updated. Ive only recently got Get Famous so this is a big peeve rn. Or if not some other mod that allows us to change the npc? I used cheats but couldnt enter CAS to modify because it was a nonplayed sim. So i took control and used "change sim" instead and changed their clothing, body type and etc. But it caused them to leave the acting garage and my sim couldnt finish her scenes.

I use MCCC mod to help with that, it is a must use mod and Deaderpool updates it frequently. https://deaderpool-mccc.com/#/releases Just warning you on the MC woohoo one is the NSFW addition to the mod, so you just need the command center which pretty much is a multitool mod like NRAAs mod for the Sims 3 and insiminator mod for the Sims 2. It saved my households when the game tried to ruin my save files culling Sims with the addition of NPCs.

Oh, I'm just glad to hear it doesn't match their preference because I totally thought it did. I'm playing an actor who's gay and basically all his co-stars have been males and I thought that's awfully convenient. Only like two women appeared after I accidentally flirted with one so I thought it was matching them to his gender preference score (which by now is back to 100/0). I personally really like it if that's not the case because acting has nothing to do with your RL preferences. This particular character demonstrates it by practicing romantic scenes with random women as well, often with fans lol. (They must love him for that.)
Though it is a bit silly if it's so skewed for one gender, to a point that I actually thought it matches preference. Would like the system to mix it up more.

Ok thanks I will test this out! And will avoid the NSFW

So, I tend to make over all of the actors in CAS mostly to make them look like glamorous movie stars/"beautiful people" and to have whatever back story they have. This means that I end up with a pool of actors that I know. Lately I've ended up making a number of these actors and other characters playable because they fall in love on the sets a lot. My game also generated several good-looking producers. The actors, producers and directors all tend to end up marrying each other.

Every so often I'll leave one as-is especially as a character actor but I've edited most of the set in a way that works for me. When new actors come in I tend to jump into CAS to edit them.

It's a game, not RL. What next, force the opposite "marriage" upon your game character than you want in your game because it would become boring for you playing the game if they didn't?

It should be pointed out here, that it goes both ways even in RL. Gene Roddenberry, who created the Original Star Trek that aired 1966-1969, spoke to George Takei about the character, Sulu, asking if he was okay to play a straight, married character. George said yes, and I could never imagine anybody else filling that role. As some have said acting is acting. But, I also have to say, that while that is true, if your Sim is of another orientation and the 'risky' scene always involves kissing the undesired gender, it gets old very fast. He won his Starlight Accolade, but the parts never got any better for him. Same old, same old. I had him quit to concentrate on his music.

Even a celeb perk to have "influence with the director" could work. There could be a drop down menu that lets you choose your costars, like the way you can choose who you want for the roles in parties like caterer, musician. I have an actor couple and id like for them to star in movies together, like John Krasinski and his wife does.

I think that's funny. It is acting. One sim that I have is an exception, she's constantly paired with female leads, probably because she's diva (self absorbed) and refuses roles if that condition isn't met. :D

My main actor sim is bi, so he doesn't mind kissing whoever his co-star happens to be. Most of the time it ends up being his best friend (male), who is currently married to his ex-fiancee, who also happens to be working on set as a producer. So the gender of his kissing partner is actually the least weird thing about this situation.
The most recent time he had to kiss a female co-star, it was his much older (immortal) distant cousin. So yeah. Maybe it would be better for him to stick to kissing guys.

Yeah I wanted to warn you about that. It has a lot of nice toggles for supernaturals too. I didn't realize how many features were tied to story progression until I got this mod. Egwarhammer is a great person to ask about customizing the mod to fit your needs too since she helped me out with it on forums. I think you will enjoy the mod and hope it helps with a lot of your Simming needs too. Happy Simming and patch day.

Those who are disagreeing with the initial suggestion- i’m gay and also agree that they need to make a preference for acting. 90% of my scenes in the game is of my character kissing a same sex character, which I obviously don’t mind in a general sense lol but for the sake of the Game and story line I want to create for my character, it’d be nice to have a decision in whether or not most of my gigs are with a same sex character or not. I created a character I want to pair with my sim- same career and everything, and I can’t get them to act together because the game keeps generating same sex scenes
